Many prophecies in this book have come to pass in 2024. The prediction of paradise here on earth was the most impactful.

This is a good book to teach environmentalism; it is a good reference material with statistics. These statistics can be researched to see how much change has taken place since their first recordings.

Although this book is published in 1992, the statistics of environmental disasters recorded in this book truly bring to my attention how we as a society haven't changed our roles. Yes, some people have truly adopted an environmental mindset, such as Ed Begley Jr. with his green alternatives and showing us how to integrate these green changes in our homes to these alternative measures. We also have the HGTV Channel bringing us green fibers to decorate our homes; however, these green fibers are meant as a social status upgrade for many and aren't taken seriously as a greening society should be taken.

I knit and crochet, so I already integrate organic fibers, meaning I don't use inorganic non-synthetic petroleum fibers; I use organic fibers from plants and animal fur from shearing that is non-harmful to the animal themselves into my wardrobe and home.

The information currently stated in the book, the author brings to our attention these environmental impact statistics on how much devastation is occurring from deforestation and rain forest decimation. However, have any changes truly taken place from all of the negative impact we as a society have created?

I would say we do have changes currently being introduced and used within our society, but is it making a positive impact for turning developers around from developing on open land? What about our water supply? I saw a picture of one of California's lakes, and it has been significantly depleted from 2011. The drought has affected not only California, but five states in total from the my last count.

I know urban bee keeping has made an impact in New York City, because bee colonies have been dying due to pesticide poisoning, so New Yorkers have been doing their share to help the bees make a comeback and support their ecosystem with roof top gardens. New Yorkers have a bee teacher to teach people who are interested in becoming bee keepers; there exists co-ops on these roof tops, so there're many people sharing the chores of care taking of the gardens and bee keeping colonists.

I don't think it is positive thinking to create a greening advocacy program for social climber's strategic maneuvers in order to climb the social ladder. I think this is in poor taste to make decorating tips a fashion statement when our society is in danger of collapse; we should take home-economics programs more seriously by turning back to our beginnings. It doesn't mean we abandon technology, but we use the technology available to make social improvements, not shatter the already fragile ecosystem by cleaning the water that has become undrinkable.

I believe it is Finland who is burning their trash to fuel their needs for energy consumption and they're asking every country for their trash because they have already burned it all for their needs. This is an eco-friendly system the Finnish have developed. Why isn't the US developing the same system to fuel our needs for energy?

There exist so many alternative to fossil fuel consumption, why aren't we changing at a more swift manner?

I like this book. This book provides a way to change the negative environmental damage we have caused and provides alternatives to our current methods of causing undue damage to our environment.

This book is good to teach environmental impact and the greenhouse effect and using the statistics toward change. This book talks about the carbon footprints we have thus left impressioned upon our environment.

The alternatives offered are intelligent and what we can do to prevent any further damage to our environment.

Safe zones are also offered in areas that have been significantly damaged by environmental impacts.

Anyone who reads about the Mayan calendar and 2012 events should like the book. The book is very well researched. I really enjoyed reading it and meeting the author. She draws you in and keeps you guessing throughout the book. I had trouble putting it down, couldn't wait to finish it. And now I have to wait til next May for the 2nd book. I didn't want to put any spoilers in, you will have to read it for yourself.

Sunbear speaks elegantly of the Native traditions of the Bear Tribe. He connects the careful shepherding of the land by the indigenous peoples to the atrocities which our Earth is facing at the hands of modern man. Written in 1990, the information is prescient in scope.
